Agency Principals refer to the ownership
and management of an insurance agency.
The Swan Agency-INSURANCE is family owned and managed and
has been since its inception in 1975.
CARY AND JUNE
SWAN
Cary and June
Swan are the Company's President and Vice President respectively.
The Swans moved to Bar Harbor in 1968 with their three children,
aged 5, 4 and 3. Their entrepreneurial spirits (both having
grown up in family owned companies), were satisfied in 1975
with the founding of their own firm. The Swan Agency-Insurance
and Real Estate. June joined Cary full time within one month
of the company's birth date and left working in the local
schools to make the Company (and the children) her full time
focus. Cary served many community organizations as board member
throughout the years, including the local library, school
board, hospital, golf club, planning board, bath and tennis
club, and at the state level, the Maine Independent Agents
Association (IIAAM). He was a founding member of the local
Rotary Club. Though immersed full time in the Insurance Agency,
June continued to give attention to her main interest of Education,
earning a BS Degree at the University of Maine at Orono after
two years at Colby College in Waterville, Maine. Two of the
three Swan children joined the family firm after college and
in 1994 Kim purchased the Real Estate Division of the Company.
Chris continues managing the Insurance Agency.
Both companies
maintain offices in the SWAN BLOCK at 43 Cottage Street, downtown
Bar Harbor. Cary is very thankful that after years of building
the Company he is able to sneak away to warmer weather during
the cold months in Maine, knowing that the Company is in good
hands. June is thankful that she finally has grandchildren
and that today's technology allows her to attend to Company
business wherever she is, as long as a laptop accompanies
her.
CHRIS SWAN
Chris is the
second-generation manager of The Swan Agency-INSURANCE. He
is the Vice President of operations and is committed to working
with the rest of the Agency's talented staff to continue to
make customers' needs the top priority. Chris keeps up to
date with the rapidly changing insurance industry and serves
on Agent Advisory Boards to Insurance Companies. Chris oversees
both Company locations in Bar Harbor and Northeast Harbor.
Although Maine summers can seem far too short, Chris is able
to hit the links AND head out to sea occasionally to catch
the elusive Maine lobster. Chris and his wife Dee Dee believe
that his most important title is DAD to daughter Evelyn and
son Cameron.
